Video by Cris McConkey. Despite a moratorium on high-volume hydraulic fracturing, the New York Department of Conservation (DEC) is quickly and quietly trying to adopt new rules for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities that would pave the way for fracking, threaten communities, and make us more dependent on fossil fuel. We must fight this new threat!

Keith Schue and Sandra Steingraber have scrutinized the regulations and presented their analyses of the weaknesses and provide fodder for your comments to DEC at a public comment writing session at the Ithaca Unitarian Church, October 23, 2013.
